Top University of Exeter Hotel Reviews

Courtyard by Marriott Exeter Sandy Park

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel for my business needs"

White Hart, Exeter by Marston's Inns

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel and staff all round brilliant"

Hotel Indigo Exeter by IHG

8/10 Good

"Being able to choose what you want at breakfast. Rooftop bar a plus as well"

Hotel Du Vin Exeter

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel, the staff were all absolutely brilliant! Wonderful local recommendations (and cocktails!) from the bar staff, dinner in the restaurant was incredible - the oysters were fabulous! Breakfast and the staff were wonderful and so attentive! Enjoyed a swim in the outdoor pool on a sunny October day, well worth a visit!"

The City Gate Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great location. lovely beer garden lovely bar lovely property really nice rooms"

Townhouse Exeter

8/10 Good

"Central location, bright and welcoming room. The breakfast was especially good, and everyone we met was very friendly. My only minor negative point was the size of the "double" bed, which, while very comfortable, was a little on the small side."

Mercure Exeter Southgate Hotel

8/10 Good

"I had great overnight stay for a work trip. My room was spacious and had a nice bathroom. Modern on/off button shower was good. The tv reception was not great (BBC1 didn't work), the carpet a little worn and the shower leaked to the bathroom floor but these were minor details and didn't really impact my overall view. I slept well, the staff were friendly and the best thing was the breakfast. Recommended for an overnight stay."

Exeter Rougemont hotel by Sunday

8/10 Good

"Perfectly decent place to stay. Room was clean and comfortable, breakfast was good and the hotel is conveniently located for the city centre and local train services."

The Depot

10/10 Excellent

"A great location. Co-op on the corner. Directly opposite the National Express/Flixbus bus stop. The Exeter bus station is less than a 5 minute walk. Vue Cinema about a 90 second walk from the rear entrance. The room is sufficient, but basic. Plenty of storage- short on coat hangers, but two large pull out drawers and a storage surface above them. Plenty of other shelving though also to use. Desk provided with also under desk drawers. I had no problem with the amount of storage provided. There is no television, and no coffee and tea making facilities in the room. Beautiful courtyard with plenty of spread out seating. Smoking areas provided. Lift service to the floors. Disabled lift available at rear of the property to raise you to the courtyard level. Entrance at the front, opposite the bus stop, is at courtyard level. Fantastic security. Security on duty throughout the night. Staff were very good. Very friendly and welcoming. Very good, free WiFi, provided. Gym, games room, and launderette (at a reasonable price) also available. You will need to provide your own washing detergent. In short, I loved this place and would without doubt stay there again."
